Description
- Huge raspberry-pink double flowers tipped with white
- Tall, sturdy stems
- Long flowering period
- Superb as cut flowers
Dahlia ‘Frost Nip’ is simply stunning in summer with its enormous raspberry-pink flowers tipped with white, reaching up to 25cm across. Held on tall stems, the fully double flowers are superb in the border or as cut flowers, flowering well into autumn. Picking the blooms for the house will encourage the plants to keep flowering.
How you will receive your bulbs:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your bulbs from November onwards in a breathable mesh bag. This is to keep the bulbs together in a pack that is nice and airy – perfect to keep the bulbs healthy while in transit.
Can’t plant straight away?
Keep your bulbs in a cool, light, and dry place and preferably hanging on a hook so that air can get to the bulbs at all angles. Ideally, you should aim to plant your bulbs within a week of receiving them, but if this is not possible, store them in a cool, dark place until you are ready to plant them.
Planting tips and hints:
Start dahlia tubers indoors in March or early April. Half-fill 2L pots with multi-purpose compost. Place a tuber in each pot with the central stem pointing upwards, and fill the pot with more compost so that the tuber is covered. Water lightly and place in a frost-free greenhouse or a sunny windowsill. As shoots start to grow, pinch out the growing tips to produce bushy plants. Remove all but around 5 shoots completely, to encourage the remaining shoots to grow strongly and produce more flowers.
Feeding and aftercare:. Harden off plants and plant outdoors after all risk of frost is past. Plant in a sheltered, sunny spot in soil enriched with well-rotted farmyard manure or garden compost. Water regularly in dry periods and deadhead to prolong flowering. In cold areas, lift tubers in autumn and store in a cool, dry, frost-free place indoors. In mild areas, apply a thick mulch in autumn to protect against frost. *Planting and flowering months below are subject to seasonal weather conditions.
